This chapter demonstrates the unmatched efficacy of atomic force microscopy (AFM) for the
investigation of interactions occurring between biological cell-surface macromolecules on …

The atomic force microscope (AFM), invented in 1986, and a member of the scanning probe
family of microscopes, offers the unprecedented ability to image biological samples unfixed …

Hemostasis and thrombosis are highly complex and coordinated interfacial responses to
vascular injury. In recent years, atomic force microscopy (AFM) has proven to be a very …

The newly developed atomic force microscope (AFM) provides a unique window to the
microworld of cells, subcellular structures, and biomolecules. The AFM can image the three …

Background: To provide a fundamental understanding of the potential and use of atomic
force microscopy (AFM) in medicine and the life sciences, this work presents a thorough …

Atomic force microscopy has an advantage over other microscope techniques in that
samples can be imaged under water or in aqueous buffer solutions. Thus, the structural …

The atomic force microscope (AFM) can image individual molecules by raster-scanning a
sharp tip over a surface. In this paper we present molecular-resolution images of …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) can generate high-resolution images of the surface of
biological specimens and can also probe the interactions between and within single …

Recent advances in the use of the atomic force microscope (AFM) for manipulating cell
membranes and membrane proteins are reviewed. Early pioneering work on measurements …

The potential for scanning probe microscopy to address topics in the life sciences was
recognized even in very early work by scanning tunneling microscope (STM) inventors …
